After destroying my shoulder on the downhill at the 2012 Sea Otter, I still did my best to capture some of the action. Since my right arm was worthless and couldn't hold a camera, I used my Contour helmet camera and shot successive shots of the Dual slalom starting at the top and moving down the course turn by turn. Every rider to make the field was caught at least once in this video. I was lucky enough to be at the finish line when Mitch Ropelato's rear wheel gave up and shot him over the bars at probably 30 mph and yes, It is here on film for you to see. Gladly Mitch walked away from that one and even tried to race the next heat race but Specialized support was no where to be found.
